WHEELED PLOW.

Speeicaton of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 26, 1907.

Application filed. June 26,1906. Serial No. 323,466.

Beit known that I, l/VALTER I). IIENDON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vheeled Flows, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to construct a wheeled plow Comprising a plurality of sections, each section supporting a plowing attachment er a plurality of plowing attachments, and the utilization of a single furrowwheel located adjacent to the rear end of one section and to the forward portion of the next rear section, assisting to support a part of the weight of both sections.

The further object of this invention is to directly connect a plurality of sections, each section supporting a plowing attachment or a plurality of plowing attachments in order that the sections will exert a force one against the other to prevent their separation.

The further object of this invention is, in

connection with the single furrow-wheel, to provide means for adjusting the sections in their connection with each other in vert-icifd manner and to adjust the rear portion of one section and the forward portion of the next rear section vertically independent of each other.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of a plurality of plow-supportingsections connected together. Fig. 2 is a perspeetive view of the connection between the sections, showing the lifting-levers. Fig. 3 is a vertical section on dotted line c, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the lever for adjusting the rear end of the sections.

In the drawings I have shown my improvements in connection with a construction of plow patented to me and to such general construction I lay no claim in this application.

The sections 1 and 2 each comprise a main frame 3, each frame supporting the plowing attachments 4. A land-wheel 5 is supported by the main frame and is provided with the usual adjusting-lever 31. The rear end of the main frame has a vertical guideway 6, which guides a support 7, to which is connected an arm 8, serving to connect the furrow-wheel 9 with the main frame. A handlever 10 is pivotally supported by the rear end of the main frame and has an engagement with the toothed segment 11, connected to the main frame. This hand-lever has a toothed quadrant l2 connected to it, which engages teeth 13 in the support 7. By means of this hand-lever the rear end of the main frame can be raised and lowered, the furrow-wheel acting as a support.

The sections have a cross-bar 14, located in front of the plowing attachments. This cross-bar for the front section has a furrowwheel l5, connected to it by the usual handlever arrangement 16, by means of which the forward portion and furrow side of the main frame can be vertically adjusted. Each arm 8 of the sections has a bracket 17 surrounding it, and each has a socket 18 extending from its upper face. lVithin the socket 18 of the arm 8 of the forward section is located a cylindrical shaft 19 and in this instance is screw-threaded therein. The cross-arm 14 of the rear section supports a' tubular sleeve 20, which receives the cylindrical shaft 19 in a manner to slide vertically in connection therewith. The upper end of the cylindrical shaft 19 supports a collar 21, and which is held from movement lengthwise of the shaft by the clamp 22. From the clamp 22 extends an arm which has the usual steering means connected to it.

A toothed segment 23 has a iixed connection with the sleeve 20, and to the toothed segment is pivoted a hand-lever 24, which has a dog engagement with the toothed segment.

Links 25 form a connection between the collar 21 and the hand-lever 24. By means of the hand-lever 24 the forward furrow side of the rear section can be raised and lowered independent of the rear portion of the front section and held at any point of adjustment, and by the hand-lever 1() the rear end of the front section can be raised and lowered. By these adjustments the plowing attachment or attachments of both sections can be vertically adjusted so that both sets of plowing attachments will cut the same depth., The rear furrow-wheel will run in the furrow made by the plowing attachment just ahead of it, and the single furrow-wheel located adjacent to the rear end of one section and the forward end of the next rear section will assist in supporting both sections.

The central opening 26 of the sleeve 20, supported by the cross-bar 14 ofthe rear section is somewhat larger than the cylindrical und] shaft 19 in order that the forward end of the rear section in its connection with the shaft may have a rocking or oscillating inovenient to accommodate it to the unevenness of the ground.

The engine is intended to connect with the draft-har 27 hy the chain 2S. A chain 2) connects the draft-har and the forward end of the front section, and a chain 30 connects the draft-har and the forward end ol the rear section.

The means for holding the furrow-wheel i5 in proper working position are not shown, as they :form no part of this invention.

By the employment ol" the single furrowwheel hetween the sections a much shorter plow can he produced. In the drawings I have only shown two sections; hut niore sections can he connected in the saire nanner. It will he noticed that the draft connection is independent of the connection between the sections.

I claim as my inventionl. In a wheeled plow, the comhination ol a plurality oiI connected sections, wheels cennected to each section, and a plurality of plowing` attachn; ents supported hy each section, the plowing attachments of all the sections located. in the saire general lengtliwise direction, the plowing attachnients ol a section located laterally with relation to the plowing attachnients of theI other sections, one of the wheels heing a furrow-wheel and located hetween the last plowing attachment of one section and the iirst plowing attachment of another section.
